Update: I was unfortunately not aware of Shamus Young's severe criticism of Fallout 3 available here to link in the original piece and I regret that. It dovetails rather nicely with what I've written and it's much better executed than my piece. I strongly recommend anyone...

Shaiya Screenshots

There are 4 modes in total. First is Easy Mode. Easy Mode is like a tutorial mode where you can level faster, but your level is capped at 30. You earn 5 Stat and 3 Skill points per level.

Normal Mode is where most players who are familiar with MMORPGs will begin. You will not level as fast as in Easy Mode, but the cap is removed. Normal Mode characters are able to equip Dread Armor. You earn 5 Stat and 3 Skill points per level.

Hard Mode is unlocked once you have leveled a Normal Mode character to 40. This mode requires more experience to level up than Normal Mode. But you will be able to wear Legend armor. You also earn 7 Stat and 4 Skill points per level.

Ultimate Mode is the last mode and is unlocked once you have leveled a Hard Mode character to 40. This mode requires even more experience than Hard Mode to level up. You earn 9 Stat 5 Skill points per level. But if you die, you only have 3 minutes to be resurrected or your character will be deleted and you must start all over.

There are two factions at war in Shaiya, the Alliance of Light and the Union of Fury. The two races which make up the Alliance of Light are the Humans and the Elves. The Union of Fury is made up of the Vail and the Nordein (Deatheaters). Each faction has 6 Classes to choose from.
